Pat’s super human powers are his awesome abilities to solve problems and to do the research it takes to figure things out. I’m always appreciative of his capacity to communicate effectively, ask questions and get it done.

Coach Training World

Feroshia Knight, the founder of Coach Training World, had finally had enough with her old website. We referred to it as Frankenstein, because we often had to inefficiently cobble together bits and pieces to make things work the way she wanted. There were many aspects of her old site that made it difficult for her to update the site. So it was important that her new site was relatively easy for her to update.

I helped her build a new website that was not only more user friendly and appealing but much easier for her to update and to add content.

Feroshia created the graphics and color scheme. Because of the user friendly theme we co-developed the site and I tackled the more challenging technical parts.

Features:

Ability for people to easily schedule appointments with her online and have these appointment automatically added to her calendar.

MailChimp integration for email campaigns, free ebook, and other automations, such as automated course delivery.

Ability for visitors to view a Coaching Directory of Coach Training World graduates.

In person training on how to edit her site using best practices.

Provide periodic Google Analytics reports

Pranger Law PC is a law firm out of the bay area that wanted a new modern and responsive website. I served as the developer on this project and provided recommendations for plugins and other digital tools. The client provided the bulk of the graphic design and layout.

Building this site required substantial customization to meet their demanding expectations.

In the short couple of months we have felt a greater sense of progress that we might actually have a website launched that truly represents us in a third of the time we spent with other web developers.”

NOTE: As of April 2016 this site is undergoing some major changes.
